A library is the heart of an academic institution. Our institution encourages all students and staff members to make the best use of the library that has been carefully built up since the inception of the college. The library is housed in a spacious area of 7750 sq.m., fully computerized and air-conditioned with Reference Section, Magazine Section, Stack Area and Digital Library . Presently there are more than 72,000 books and reference volumes stacked for the benefit of staff and students. There is an established media resource centre.

The library subscribes more than 180 specialized journals, over one third of them being international. We are also a member of US information service (USIS), British Council Library, CSIR, DELNET, CII, Madras Productivity Council and Anna University.
